This weeks group run/walk/cycle to the Luton team to 61FC, to do a bit more painting to help them prepare for the new season which is just around the corner. After meeting in the town centre and having a brief introduction session as we had Pashew with us for the first time, the 11 strong team headed off to the task. On arrival Richard from 61FC was waiting with Rollers and brushes and several pots of paint 🎨. So we split into 2 groups and painted the outside of the clubhouse and some more of the posts around the pitch. It was good fun and definitely gave us all a good arm workout. The task was also Omar 's 100th task. So we look forward to seeing him in his 🪽 t-shirt very soon. After some quick refreshments and agreeing to come back and finish the posts in a few weeks time, we headed back to town centre. This week we also have another milestone in the group, so we decided to tag a mini social on the back of the task to celebrate 🍾 our very own David who's birthday it is (age reveal in the pics). This is the perfect opportunity to shout out the man who brought Goodgym to Luton and has truly helped us go from strength to strength 💪 A real leader. Congratulations to Omar, Pashew and David and awesome job to all that attended. Well done team 👏 👍🏻 🙌 👌

Foodcycle was really well supported by Goodgym today and it was lovely to have three of our newest members swelling the ranks if the hosting team alongside some of our regulars. Gill was doing a double shift on food collection - having collected earlier in the week, she dropped of one car load of food, which was an upper body work out in itself, before reloading the car with last week's empty crates and returning them to Sainsbury's before collecting some more produce. As the cooking team were very depleted she then stayed on for an hour and a half of the cooking shift as well. Martin got stuck in with the kitchen team too and soon a delicious meal was in the process of creation. Omar was a late sign up but arrived early and was soon able to show our newbies, Susannah , Fayemi and Bauyrzhan , how to setbup the hall for our guest. as always a delicious meal was served and the hosts did a great job of making everyone feel welcome. Thanks team - Foodcycle really appreciate all you do.

3 Goodgymers helped Sam from Luton Parks department with a conservation task on Monday. It was hard work but after lots of cutting back and trimming and a little bit of litterpicking and splashing about in the river. We all had a great time

This weeks group 🏃‍♀️ run, 🚶‍♂️ walk and 🚲 cycle, we visited Penrose Roots to Recovery. We had a great turn out if 13 Goodgymers, 4 of which were first timers and 1 joining for their first group run. So welcome to Lee , Dilpreet, Fayemi and Bauyrzhan, we hope you enjoyed the evening and look forward to you joining us again. After heading off from the town centre the team headed out on a 2.5 km run, walk or cycle to join our friend Pete at Penrose. He got everyone shovelling fertiliser on to some beds and when that was done, we all got stuck in to some epic weeding. All in all, a great task that everyone contributed to and a fantastic evening to welcome some wonderful first timers. Great effort everyone, you done a fantastic job 👏 👍🏻 👌 🙌
